Not a whole lot of ITU love... me included...


I expected this thread to be dominated by IM distance pros. Funny because the "best" triathletes are probably in the ITU ranks.

Kind of like when you tell a lay person that you do triathlons, they automatically assume Ironman Hawaii.

Running2Far thanks for shout-out....  And for Tom D I'll do the 5 moments of men's triathlon that come to mind

 

1) Hy-Vee sprint finish in 09 (Frodeno, Khalfeldt, ???, ???)

2) Alexander passing Lieto in Kona in 2009

3) Stadler on the bike in 06

4) Mark Allen running away from Dave Scott (89???)

5) Macca shaking hands with Raelert in 2010 Kona (as I passed them going the other way may I add)

i did it without looking, now time to read the other replies !

Julie Dibbens?  Male? 

I thought maybe she was getting a sex change...j/k Wink

Doh!!!That will teach me for not reading the question properly and for trying to not add jonny brownlee in as it was too obveous! I hereby confirm to the best of my knowledge she has not had a sex change and nor is she a man racing as a lady.

He's a pro now, isn't he? And doing good things for the sport.

Yep! =D

KathyG - 2012-02-29 8:24 AM I don't really care about pros.

This.  And not just in tri's.  Never followed any particular team or sport unless it was forced upon me.

As you guys can likely tell I'm trying to flush out some metric or insight into the value of sponsorsing athletes.

My employer does that, and it is the topic of debate in marketing meetings.

One thing I'm growing increasingly adverse to is any response that starts with phrases like, "Well... you can't really measure the response..."

I'd like to do one of the following:

1. Find out a way to measure the response to sponsored athletes, and do it. I have a notion that NASCAR, sponsorship of Michael Phelps, etc.- very high level sponsorships do have some quantifiable element to them. I'd like to impliment that.

2. Gather insights on what works: What do consumers want? What drives a buying decision? Do athlete sponsorships contribute to a buying decision?

3. If athlete sponsorships do work, what about them drives a consumer to the cash register? And, the $64 dollar question: How do we tailor that control to provide a better, more exciting, more enjoyable buying experience.

Big questions. There is a ton of literature on this and a few dissenting opinions. Not too much consensus.

Hmmmph.

Emotionally I think everyone wants to say, "Well... you can't meaure that", "It's good will", etc. Pragmatically I think the bar needs to sit higher.
